Free Admission for RHS Members - Area: 27.5 hectares (68 acres) - It is one of four public gardens run by the Royal Horticultural Society - It had been the Northern Horticultural Society's trial ground and display garden

This place is beautiful, accessible, family-friendly, and, for those who are horticulturally inclined, a source of wonder, information, and envy. Flowers, shrubs, trees, herbs, vegetables, fruits are all on display, and the landscaping produces a wide variety of vistas and intimate spaces, so that one will be tired long before becoming bored. Having Betty's on the premises helps with that. The shop is quite effective in providing temptations to purchase.

This little museum is small enough to be personal yet large enough and with a wide variety of different exhibits to make it worth the paltry £4 admission. You do however have an opportunity to make a voluntary donation when you leave and I would urge everyone visiting to make full use of this facility.

It is estimated that some 1 million people visit the showground per year - The showground facilities are used all the year round for various functions and events - The site is 250 acres (100 ha) in area and consists mainly of grassland

I have been a number of times before and was debating this year as the ticket prices seen quite expensive HOWEVER it is definitely well worth it. There is so much to see and do. We were only there for the one day and don't think we even saw half of it! Although algriculture is the main focus of the show there is so much more. Hundreds of stalls selling food, clothings, toys, artwork, homeware, craft, to name a few. There is one very large in door food hall and smaller food tents dotted around.
